"Why is she so depressed..." Master Chu shook his head helplessly, "Students from our ordinary school may not be able to keep up with us. Isn't it fearful of inferiority complex that her son, an illiterate child, is here? How about I go and talk to her and see if there is any room for change."

"I don't think we can come to an agreement..." The dean shook his head. It was obvious that Boss Chen was not someone who could be easily fooled.

Everyone fell silent again.

But then Mr. Jiang, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up, "Is this really the only way?"

"Yes." The dean smiled bitterly.

Mr. Jiang hesitated for a moment, "Then if we really let her son in, we can buy as much of this braised food as we want, without any restrictions?"

The dean shook his head and said, "No need. Boss Chen has said that if we let her son come to study at our academy, we teachers will not only have unlimited braised food, but also enough food for everyone to host a banquet."

Mr. Jiang nodded slightly, his fingers tapping the table lightly, seemingly in a very rhythmic manner, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

After a moment, he asked softly, "What do you think?"

Master Li smiled bitterly and said, "It's fine to accept him, but I'm just making an exception with an excuse. If no one says anything, the news won't get out. But the bad thing is that he doesn't even know a single word, so he can't attend classes with other students."

Master Wang said dimly, "You are right. Even if he can read, he can't keep up with the progress of our academy..."

Mr. Jiang took a sip of his tea and said softly, "How about this, since everyone has no objection to him joining the academy, but just has doubts about how to teach him, then if it doesn't work, just accept him in and I will teach him individually."

These light words hit everyone's heart.

The dean's eyes widened. "No, how can I trouble you?"

Mr. Jiang was a man of great knowledge. He did not teach in their academy on weekdays, but only came out on specific days to give guidance.

Even so, he is still a stabilizing force in their academy.

Even these gifted students in the academy couldn't enjoy the treatment of being taught by him personally, so he gave the lessons to an illiterate young boy?

If this gets out, isn't Mr. Jiang afraid of being embarrassed?

Mr. Jiang waved his hand, "It's okay. I don't have much to do in the academy anyway. I'll just use this kid's presence as a way to kill time. Besides, after he comes in, he'll see so many students who are ten or a hundred times stronger than him. I don't believe he can last long in our academy."

The dean stroked his chin and said, "That is true, but we cannot let you do it yourself. Isn't that a waste of talent?"

"What's there that can't be taught? I'm not accepting disciples, and no one will think too much of it if I spread the word. Besides, I'm the one with the least time in the whole academy on weekdays, so if he comes, I'll just treat it as a fun thing." Mr. Jiang didn't care at all.

"That won't work either. How about this, you go to Class A to teach my students, and I'll switch with you." Master Chu said righteously.

Class A is filled with the best students in the entire academy, so it wouldn't be a waste of Mr. Jiang's talent to let him teach them.

Mr. Jiang waved his hand in disdain, "I won't go. Teaching those wooden lumps will only make me sick. The reason I was willing to come to Yuelu Academy was because you, Old Zhou, told me that I don't have to teach the students. I can go out and answer their questions whenever they encounter a problem or when I'm in a good mood."
